About The Process
The black lady Justice was conceived, un-blindfolded, overlooking a narrative representing the struggles that some vulnerable youth must overcome in order to find liberation. The narrative is their translation of the Myth of Sisyphus whose boulder carries the weight of all their obstacles, in and out of prison walls.
